Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

CHAPTER 104

"Thanks. Bye."

With her last greeting out, Li Jing lowered her head a bit and walked past him. 

'Phew, I thought that would never end.' She said in her mind and increased her pace just in case he wanted to call her back. 

'Yes, run all you want. Fear my presence, Li Jing. You should know just whom to be scared of.' Hao Huizhong thought internally as his gaze escorted her out of the meeting room. 

Not wasting any more time than she already have, Li Jing hurriedly headed for Ye Cheng's office. 

By the time she got to the bend leading to his office, she met Han Qing Qing arranging some files on her table and walked over to her. 

"Hello."

"Hey, Li Jing, hi."

"Hi," Li Jing politely replied her greeting with a smile.

"You can go inside, he is expecting you," Han Qing Qing gestured towards the door. 

"Thanks."

"Welcome."

Both ladies exchanged smiles and Li Jing tuned in the direction leading to Ye Cheng's office and walked straight for the door.

She knocked twice and opened the door. As soon as she got in, her nostrils were assaulted by the sweet fragrance emanating from his office and she was greeted with a sight, any lady in her right mind would love to see.

Ye Cheng was seated at the far end of his office near the huge glass window on his office executive chair as he stared absentmindedly at the open street down below.

The way he sat down there, with his attention elsewhere, made him look like a beautiful painting.

Hearing the door shut close, he moved his gaze towards the door and saw a little bunny standing near the door of his office.

"You are late."

The coldness in his face was also sent through his tone of voice and Li Jing felt a chill run down her spine at the tone.

"Sorry," Li Jing quickly apologized.

The last thing she wanted was for him to yell at her as he did in the meeting. She could not blame him though, it was sickening to have such traitors in one's company and have them steal from you.

"Come here."

Straightening herself, Li Jing took slow steps towards his table. It was as though she was walking on a tiny rope and one small mistake could make her lose her foot and fall on a ground full of hot coals.

'What is she doing?' Ye Cheng wondered inside him. It was funny as she looked like a stiff dull trying not to break.

He shook his head and waited for the year she chose to arrive in front of his working table. After what seemed like hours, Li Jing finally arrived in front of his desk looking all tensed up.

"What took you long?"

She took a deep breath and exhaled sharply before responding to his question. She knew he would ask and well, it was not like she was going to hide it from him anyway.

He had wondered if she still went to her office first before coming to his or something that shouldn't have happened, occurred?

"I was approached by Hao Huizhong."

At the mention of that name, Ye Cheng's almost smiling face turned serious instantly. His brows creased a bit at the thought of what might have happened.

"I see." He brought both hands together in front of his face, forming a small triangle as he narrowed his eyes at her. "What did he want?"

"He only did an introduction and we shook hands."

"Just that?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Nothing. Do not mind me. Just be careful is all I can say."

"Sure. I would."

No one spoke again. The office suddenly became quieter than it was before all of a sudden.

It had come to the point where she would ask him why he called her but she did not want to voice it out, since she already guessed his reply.

It was Ye Cheng who first broke the silence as he noticed her uneasiness.

"Now, why I called you here."

'Here we go, Li Jing. Brace yourself, girl.'

Ye Cheng stood up from his seat and walked over to where she was standing.

'Wait a minute, what is he doing? Don't get up, don't get up. Just remain in your seat, do not come closer.'

Her mind went into overdrive and her heartbeat rate increased exponentially.

"About the news that went viral."

"Yes?" Li Jing sprouted out the word sharply with wide eyes.

Ye Cheng was shocked by her sudden reaction but he did not show it and continued with what he was saying.

"I apologize for getting you involved in my life like this and making your pictures go viral."

"But you did nothing. It was Ying Yue's doing."

"I know, still, I should have known that has a reporter she would have a hidden camera on her and made sure you avoided her."

"Hmm."

***

Meanwhile, as they were busy with their discussion, Hao Huizhong was also busy with other things.

"Yes, we just had a meeting and he sorted out all our men and had them expelled from the company."

"Okay. Where is he right now?" a soft feminine voice asked from the other end of the phone.

"In his office."

"And that so-called financial manager?"

"Probably still in his office."

"What? I told you to… sigh, forget it. I would handle it myself."

"Alright. I would leave it to you then."

"No worries."

Beep-beep!!

He phone call went dead and Hao Huizhong proceeded to his office. He had done his part, it was now left for them to do theirs.

Not up to two minutes after his call, the doors to Ye Cheng's coming opened and a lady walked in, turning the heads of everyone who saw her.

Her beauty was one to be reckoned with and her steps exuded every form of elegance it could portray. Each step was one that made her curves swap to and fro in her black fitted handless gown.

In no time, she arrived at the floor of Ye Cheng's office and made her way to his office.

Han Qing who had left her desk to deliver a file to someone was just returning ad got held up by another worker when the said lady walked up straight to Ye Cheng's door.

"Hey! You can't go in there without permission."
